Ian Harvie | Transgender Man

Ian Harvie is a distinguished stand-up comic and actor. He is best known for his credit performances in the show Transparent. Harvie began his journey back in 2002 at Portland in a modest comedy club. There he honed his act and would eventually make a move to Los Angeles. There he garnered further success and joined Margaret Cho’s tour as her opening act. Harvie would also become a permanent cast member of Cho’s The Sensuous Woman, an off-broadway comedy production. Ian then rode the momentum of success, performing across the globe and even hosted his talk show, The Ian Harvie Show.

Though Ian was born a female, he was transgender at a very young age, albeit he didn’t know the term for his identity. He initially came out as gay when he was 19 and would finally come out as transgender by 32.
